Sustainable Divorce is Divorce with Dignity

What is "Sustainable Divorce"?

We've all heard about divorces that turn into contentious courtroom battles.  People tell horror stories of spending a lifetime of savings on a long, needlessly protracted battle over assets and parenting and child support. Movies have been made about how nasty a divorce can be, and how parents undermine one another with the children after a divorce is finished.

But now, many people are asking, "can we divorce in a manner that does not destroy us both and our children?"  Seattle divorce attorney Rhe Zinnecker's answer is yes. 

A sustainable divorce is one where both parties work together to protect their assets and divide them so each party can thrive financially after the divorce. A sustainable divorce is one where both parties put the best interests of the children first and where each parent supports the other after the divorce. A divorce where the end result is sustainable for both parties over the long-term is a "sustainable divorce".

There are many options available for how to reach a sustainable conclusion to your divorce. The option you choose will depend upon how much help you need to reach acceptable agreements about ending your relationship.
